Scott and Logan have both led the X-Men, but when an alternate timelines turns Cyclops into a de facto Weapon X, he proves to be the better leader.
As two of Marvel Comics’ most famous mutants, both Wolverine and Cyclops have led the X-Men, but one alternate timeline definitively proved why Scott is better suited for the role. Cyclops and Wolverine have one Marvel’s most interesting relationships. While Scott is typically the Merry Mutants’ calm and collected leader, Logan is more frequently portrayed as the gruff loner who likes to play by his own rules.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Despite their differences, Cyclops and Wolverine usually make for a terrific team. But it’s these same differences that drastically affect the two heroes’ leadership styles. An example of this can be seen in the 2011 event Age of X, which depicts an alternate reality where mutants have been hunted to near extinction by the U.S. government.
In their respective situations, both Cyclops and Wolverine are dehumanized and turned into tools of destruction, but both handle it differently. Logan essentially leans into that dehumanization in a more feral, bestial way even when he reclaims his sense of identity as Wolverine. His berserker rage and more animalistic tendencies act as very literal signifiers of that lost humanity.
Cyclops and Wolverine Process Trauma Very Differently In this way, Wolverine and Cyclops’ similar traumas highlight just how far apart their personalities are on an emotional spectrum. And it’s this colder, more analytic nature that highlights why Scott is by and large a more successful leader than Logan.
Cyclops may not be the perfect leader, but his history as Basilisk reinforces just how much more effective he is than his clawed counterpart, Wolverine. Ultimately, Scott and Logan work best when the two are able to keep each other in check. But at the end of the day, when it comes to the true leader of Marvel Comics’ X-Men, Wolverine can’t hold a candle to Cyclops.
